Separation in the first weeks or months of life could be a source of borderline disorders, since borderline individuals have an exceptionally high level of adoption. In 1984, at the Institute for Life in Hartford, it was noted that 25 percent of their borderline patient populations were accepted. At Élan One in Maine, in a boarding / treatment center that accepts concerned defenders who are not schizophrenics,
It was reported that 35 percent, or 56, of their 160 clients were accepted. Most of these children were borderline, but the population included other personality disorders, behavioral disorders, personality disorders, impulses, and substance abuse. Now almost all adoptions occurred in the first two weeks of life. In a cross-sectional survey of 15,416 children throughout the United States, Zill (1985) determined that two percent of the total population was adopted. This means that out of 160 children in “Élan One” instead of 56 only three were to be taken.
It looks like he flips the coin 59 times and brings it to the head 56. Using the binomial theorem, it will happen about once in trillions of samples. Since the adopters in Elan One were mostly taken in the first two weeks of life, this indicates a correlation between seriously ill children without psychosis and trauma that occurred in the first month of life.
While other factors may differ in the life of the adoptive parents, separation from the biological mother has already been identified as a primary childhood trauma, which leads to serious emotional disorders.
Recently, a man who was borderline all his life, suddenly at the age of 60 decided that he just wanted to go to bed or eat. When he was hungry, he ate, and then took a nap, and then he got up and ate, and then went back to bed. More remarkable is the fact that for him it was completely normal behavior, which indicated that it arose at the time when it was normal, i.e. it was a behavior newborn who just eats and sleeps. It should also be noted that this man in his life was extremely intrusive, intrusive, and kept it all as an animal of earlier species, such as a rodent. If he managed to go to McDonald for a hamburger, the wrapper was folded into a small small square and placed in a box, and the box was saved and packed in 100 or more identical boxes from the same restaurant. Every newspaper and every magazine was simply saved until there was no space left in the house.
This man was injured in the first month of life. His compulsive behavior was reminiscent of a woman who was injured at the age of seven days, when she died of sepsis, in pediatrics, separated from her mother. Throughout her early childhood, she continued to force her mother to play a game with her, in which the mother left, but made her way back through the window. The essence of the game was that the mother really did not leave (because she was forced when her child was in the hospital). In adulthood, despite the fact that the woman had reached high academic degrees, she remained childish and sometimes called her mother on the phone, insisting that she and her mother leave the phones off the hook during the night. Symbolically, this provided the umbilical connection, which was performed immediately before the initial trauma. This woman also showed extreme obsessive-compulsive symptoms. From time to time she reflected on the meaning of the word, until she reached insanity, searching for dictionaries and encyclopedias in order to find an exact meaning that was never right. This behavior was so intense when it happened that it corresponded only to the primitive behavior observed in the Japanese beetle, locked in a glass jar. The beetle raced madly around the can, continuing to walk the same way for hours. Clinically, the two behaviors were similar.
Frontier states often appear to correlate with early trauma, and I refer to early trauma to separation and loss during the separation-individuation development phase, and especially during the subphase of convergence, between 16 and 24 months. This age of origin is a possibility, because many of the symptoms of borderline personality disorder correspond to the symptoms of 18–24 months of age. I was still of the opinion that the origin could be in the first months of life. This could result in speculation if the borderline syndrome is associated with an early injury, the peak age of origin and the age range of the origin will increase rapidly, along with the nature and duration of the initial injury.
Obsessive-compulsive behavior often creates borderline personality disorder. Phylogenetically earlier areas of the brain can be first brought into action, and the extreme, insane obsessive-compulsive behavior found in some borderline individuals may resemble the behavior of the most primitive members of the Animal Kingdom. Anatomically severe obsessive-compulsive symptoms correlate with increased activity in the phylogenetic older structures of the brain, especially the bending gyrus, the head of the caudate nucleus and the orbital cortex (mostly on the left). The transition to anatomically earlier brain structures supports the possibility of early childbirth. According to Baxter (1994), recovery leads to a normalization of glucose metabolism in the caudate, which further confirms our concept of a shift in areas of brain activity during the disease process and returning to the previous area of activity as the patient recovers.
A marked increase in the number of cases of incest has been noted among borderline individuals (Kernberg, O., 1975), which apparently suggest trauma of a later origin. However, an increase in the incidence of incest among border persons, in particular, may be result the disease process, like the “schizophrenogenic mother,” is usually the result of moving the patient to the infant mind, and not the cause of the disease. The increase in the number of cases of incest may be partly due to the increase in the number of people accepted among the border population and the fact that biologically, with accepted, this is not incest. Careful studies often show which correlations are causal.
